Movers & Shakers: December 06, 2016


Botswana: DCI -0.45%, USD 74k

Nothing to report from Gaborone.

Kenya: NSE 20 -1.07%, USD 5.1m

Nothing especially exciting to report from the Nairobi bourse today. The market was heavily dominated by foreigners with particular attention paid to Equity Bank (unch, KES30.00) and Safcom (-50bps, KES19.80). Outside of these 2 names there was nothing much to write hom about except for some mild trading in EABL (-40bps, KES244.00) and Co-op Bank (unch, KES13.70).

Mauritius: Semdex +0.03%, USD 270k

An absolutely dire day in Port Louis with nothing to report.

Nigeria: ASI -0.28%, USD 7.9m

It was all about the consumers today as the sector was witness to a couple of chunky crosses. The sector closed down 80bps with decent action traded in the likes of Nestle (-1.23%, N805.00), NB (-69bps, N144.00) and Unilever (unch, N48.00). The banking sector (+11bps) was rather quiet outside of GTB (+43bps, N23.10). The rest of the market was extremely quiet.

Please note that the index figure above is correct at the time of writing.

Zimbabwe: Industrials +2.08%, USD 1.3m

A very solid day in Harare from an activity point of view thanks to some action in CBZ ($472k), BAT ($385k) and Old Mutual ($319k) while the rest of the market was relatively quiet.
